Kid Canaveral – ‘You Only Went Out to Get Drunk Last Night’ video
I have an unusually healthy supply of good videos at the moment, so I thought I might pass on three of my favourites, none of which bear much relation to one another, but all of which are cool in different ways. First up is Kid Canaveral’s brilliant new animated video for You Only Went Out […]

Peenko’s Scots Way-Hay! – Dear Mountaineer
After all the fun and games of my ‘Ones To Watch’ posts, normal Scots Way-Hay will now be resumed with indie-folk four piece, Dear Mountaineer. Having recently played at the Chem 19 showcase gig in Glasgow a few weeks back, the band first came to my attention through Halina with whom I run Olive Grove […]
